Global Data Center Services Provider CyrusOne COO Michael Duckett and VP/GM of Interconnection Josh Snowhorn to Speak at SIMposium09:40 EDT Thursday, October 25, 2012
CINCINNATI (Business Wire) -- Global data
center services provider, CyrusOne, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cincinnati Bell (NYSE: CBB), has announced its participation in SIMposium
2012, CIO Means Business, in Grapevine, Texas, on October 28-30. At
the event, CyrusOne COO Michael Duckett and Vice President and GM of
Interconnection Josh Snowhorn will deliver presentations on managing a
cloud environment, including data center scalability and flexibility and
the benefits of an Internet Exchange.
Snowhorn's presentation, “The Dynamics of an Internet Exchange and the
Cloud,” will be held at 2:00 pm on Monday, October 29, and will provide
a brief history of Internet Exchanges (IX) and their relevance for the
modern cloud. He will explain the world of peering for the cloud, as
well as its benefits for reducing costs, adding performance and
enhancing traffic control.
Later in the afternoon, at 3:45 p.m., Duckett will deliver his
presentation, “The Colocation Evolution: Providing the Scalability and
Flexibility Found in the Cloud,” which will detail the growth of cloud
adoption and its impact on data centers. The presentation will explore
modern requirements for scalability and flexibility in cloud delivery,
and detail the ways in which colocation capabilities are accommodating
these demands.
“Data volume is anticipated to grow by as much as 800 percent over the
next five years, which will force rapid expansion in data center
capacities and performance,” said Duckett. “At this rate and scale of
deployment, most companies will be strained to keep up with the capital
expansions and growing complexities of managing a cloud environment.
CyrusOne is addressing these concerns with its ‘Sky
for the Cloud™' platform, which provides a flexible, scalable and
secure home for the cloud that maximizes Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
and interconnects the full ecosystem of partners and providers.”
